The situation in Mexico has serious consequences for our Rights, and even our lives here in AZ and all along the Mexican border. We cannot emphasize enough how much it is in our interest to have a free, safe and prosperous Mexico as our neighbor. Many of us have family, friends there and they are our neighbor.

We strongly support the Human Rights of the Mexican people to be able to defend themselves. That means the Mexican people should once again have the rights and resources to possess, bear and use modern and effective firearms. As over 70 years of corrupt federal government and it's attending gun control have shown, the bumper sticker is so true. "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". Mexico is a textbook example of the failures of gun control. While some very limited firearms are permitted on paper, and in practice, the real effect has been to disarm the good people of Mexico.
That was done by the very corrupt political party that ran a country rich in natural resources and people, into the ground to prevent a revolution, not to "control crime" as was the pretense.

As the archived reports will show, the defenseless people of Mexico have suffered way too much. They deserve much better. We need to help.

Given the gravity of the ongoing drug war in Mexico our neighbor to the south, ASR&PA has been working to monitor the border situation and it's many effects on our state and our members:

Including drug and human trafficking, with related issues of murders, kidnappings, home invasions, extortion, destruction of wildlife habitat, illegal immigration, white slavery, money laundering, expenses of incarceration and medical treatments, the list goes on and on. Also de facto cession of areas of the state to the DTO's; fugitives, cash, firearms and ammunition running south. Most of these issues could be significantly reduced by simply securing the border.

To get it out of the way, ASR&PA does support legal immigration, trade, and travel between our countries. Especially so that we and our Mexican neighbors can once again freely and safely travel to our neighboring countries for competition, training, hunting and just enjoy good company.

MEXICO CITY - The Mexican army on Friday announced that it has made
the largest seizure of drug-cartel weapons in Mexico's history.

The cache of 540 rifles, 165 grenades, 500,000 rounds of ammunition
and 14 sticks of TNT was seized on Thursday at a house in Reynosa,
across the border from McAllen, Texas, Mexican Assistant Attorney
General Marisela Morales said.

"The seizure is the largest in the history of Mexico involving
organized crime," Morales told reporters at Defense Department
headquarters.

The weapons in the latest seizure belonged to the Gulf drug cartel,
an official said after Morales made her statement.

Soldiers detected the cache when they chased suspects into the home
after the men refused orders to stop, Morales said. Three men were
detained.

It was unclear whether the raid was related to an FBI intelligence
report obtained by a Texas newspaper in October that warned the Gulf
cartel was stockpiling high-powered weapons in Reynosa to prepare for
possible confrontations with U.S. law enforcemen
